It a toss up between John "No Nose" DiFronzo and Jack Tocco.
From now on, nothing goes down unless I'm involved. No blackjack no dope deals, no nothing. A nickel bag gets sold in the park, I want in. You guys got fat while everybody starved on the street. Now it's my turn.

Michael Genovese of Pittsburgh was never indicted/convicted and was known nationally as a "reclusive" boss. Same with John Scalish in Cleveland. Very debatable topic. Tony Accardo has to be mentioned as well. Accardo was high profile and well known. The feds tried to get him but couldnt. We all know about his career. Do a google search on him and you will get a million hits.

I think even though they got him eventually, Chin was a pretty secretive boss. In an ostentatious kind of way. Not even letting people call you by name and dressing like shit? That's anti-boss behavior. Yet he ran the strongest OC group for a good long time.

Basciano.
Accardo? His life, what type of person he was, everything about him has been pretty well documented over the years. He's one of the more notable names in American organized crime history lol. The extent of his political/governmental connections, or whether or not he was a secret informant, are the two primary things shrouded with mystery when it comes to Accardo, but the same could be said for any Chicago boss throughout history.
Regarding Chicago, Paul Ricca, of course. You definitely have to put Lefty Campagna & the extent of his leadership within the organization during the 40s & early 50s. Things got very cloudy for the feds during that period. He doesn't get mentioned very often. Died young.
Then you have guys like Vince Solano, Skids Caruso, Turk Torello, Frank LaPorte, Sam Carlisi, Al Tornabene, of course the present day Johnny 'Bananas' DiFronzo, Jimmy Marcello, and the rarely mentioned Jimmy Inendino, who managed/have managed to fly under the radar, but were/are extremely powerful, ruthless, painstakingly quiet bosses.

Frank Giardano...and yes he is a boss and yes there is now and has always been a Rockford Family...it's not just a Chicago Crew
Been there and done it I am very much for real, so if you ask, make sure you really want to know.

@jcb1997 Despite his popularity tony accardo was never a boss with final say, at best he gave his opinions
@huronsocialathletic the outfit in the forties is very confusing, I'm in the middle of a deep research of that period, ricca did'nt take over until nitti died (ricca never had final say over nitti) and at that point gusik, ralph capone and a host of others was very powerful
Carlos gambling was the most secretive, the man never opened his mouth at a meeting, someone spoke for him, his voice is' not on tape anywhere
"McGurn likes you, so I make you. So you are now one of us, if you fuck up, we take it out on McGurn. He is your sponsor. Fuck up, it's his ass. You work in his crew, he is your capo."
